More details to this question:
My ex and I filed for a marriage license 8 years ago, but changed our minds about the union. We called off our ceremony and never filed the marriage license back with the county and never received the marriage certificate. We have never filed taxes together and have never owned joint property or maintained any sort of joint account.

Colorado law provides an unused marriage license expires if not used in 35 days after it issued. The facts you describe suggest that nothing happened in that time period that would show a marriage occurred. So, it does not appear you were ever married.
